Bread

So, I am getting my period this week. I know because I am hungry ALL THE TIME. For two days in a row now I have had bread, and I feel sick. Both days, both times. We went for a sandwich at the Italian coffee company, which was way better than my original thought of a burger and fries, but I still felt gross.Yesterday I had chocolate as well and then I felt really sick. I should have thrown it away, I took one bite and thought "gross", but kept eating. Does that make any sense at all? One more maybe two more days and I will be over the period hurdle. Thank God!

104.8 - can I manage forever, I ask

Well, it was a good week this week. I thought for sure there was no way I was going to cross the barrier of 106, but I did. The weight continues to decrease, and I feel as if I can manage this eating thing way better than I had on other diets. Perhaps because it is so restrictive. No bread, no grains, no fruit, no sugar, no pasta. With really only the basics left to eat, your choices become very clear. But also your treats become fewer. When I crave something I tend to make it, as Mexican pastry and bread does not satisy me. Although I like the chocolate, I don't crave it here. We eat overall way less refined foods,and my office does not have a vending machine and a Starbucks nearby. I keep telling myself that my challenge will be on repatriation. Although I think I will have a rough first week back, I feel confident that I will be able to sustain my new eating habits.
Here's to hoping.

Sugar

This week I feel heavy. Honestly fat. I am not sure why this week was any different than the others. I am having a challenge sticking to the diet this week, as well as last week. While in Austin I lost 600 grams, or 1.3 lbs. Not bad, but not great. Sugar calls in its many forms. I was craving focaccia so I made a batch. Yummy. I was craving a bottle of Rose wine (spring is in the air). Yum! Need a break? Just head over to the Italian Coffee Company for a coffee and a strudel.
This morning I used the dishes not being washed as an excuse to have bread. Where does it stop? I don't think it ever will. My accupressure used to do a good job of curbing the sugar cravings. Has my body found a way around these sensory stimuli? Talking about it is not helping, at least talking to Ralph about it does not seem to make me feel any better, eat any better, crave sugas any less. I am back to my 4:00 break requirement. I must find something that satisfies the Apple Strudel urge, the vending machine urge that is not bad for the tummy fat. I feel like I have plateaued and that I need to do something more, exercise wise, to get to the next level. But this still does not address the 4:00 issue, the sugar voice, calling, calling...

Can I loose 6.3 kilos in 1 month?

I would like to leave Oaxaca and weigh 100 kilos. This would mean I would have to lose 6.3 kilos in 4 weeks. On average, when I am following my diet, I am loosing 2 kilos per week, so realistically, I could accomplish this goal. this would leave me either 30 kilos to loose if I wanted to be at the "ideal" weight, or I would be very, very happy with only 20 kilos, leaving me at 80 kilos, which would bring me to the weight, roughly, that I was at when I got married.
I have already resigned myself to going for accupressure for the rest of my life.
I was also wondering if I should step up the physical activity over the next 4 weeks. Considerations, considerations....
